Intel Security commissioned a primary research study to gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which enterprises are using security operations centers, how they have changed over time, and what they will look like in the future. The second Key Topic summarizes the year in ransomware. Not only was there a huge jump in the number of ransomware attacks in 2016 but we saw significant technical advancements, too. We detail some of those advancements in this story. Finally, the third Key Topic digs into Trojans that infect legitimate code and hide out, hoping to go unnoticed as long as possible to maximize payouts. We show how attackers are creating long-lasting, fully undetectable malware.Topics: McAfee Labs
